Community Park, now known as George Taylor Field, is a stadium in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. It is primarily used for baseball and is the home park for the Niagara Metros of the Central Ontario Baseball League (a senior AAA men's baseball league), and Brock Badgers Baseball (Brock University). It was formerly home of the St. Catharines Blue Jays of the New York–Penn League. The ballpark has a capacity of 2,000 (and originally 2,500).
The current field and grandstand was opened in 1986 during the first seasons for the Blue Jays. The stadium was built or reconfigured from the former Merritton Community Park baseball field from 1960s.
The park was originally called Merritton Baseball Field and now referred to as George Taylor Field renamed in honour of Merritton native and former St. Catharines Blue Jays/Stompers groundskeeper George (Clickey) Taylor.
